That tree trunk is stunning...so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent

[@ArianeZurcher212]

Thx Pam. It takes quite a bit of thread but it’s fun!

[@lauremeaney7883]

phew! well, slipped detached chain is officially the most complicated stitch I've tried so far! I'm doing a version of the glasses case tutorial, so not helped that the instructions call to do them side to side and upside down so to speak, compared to the video - haha! If you're like me and looking for that one specifically, it's at 10'15 in the video. thanks for explaining this so very clearly Ariane

[@ArianeZurcher212]

Hi Laure, glad you were able to figure it out. They're fun though once you get the hang of them!

[@lyndabaillargeon4955]

Hi, again a super fun and instructive video thank you so much❣️

[@ArianeZurcher212]

Oh I'm really pleased to hear that. Wonderful!

[@jennypops02may]

Great video with even more inspiration. Thank you. Xxx

[@ArianeZurcher212]

I’m so glad! ❤️

[@kifahmohammed4294]

The white bird is very beautiful, I love to know how can I do it

[@ArianeZurcher212]

HI Kifah, I'm not sure what white bird you are referring to. There's a white bird that is part of the ribbon pattern, but it's a ribbon and not something I designed or made. There's a wonderful ribbon company you can check out if you're interested, Renaissance Ribbons: renaissanceribbons.com

[@stephaniehaitz7768]

Where have you been all my life? Lol... your instructions are excellent. Thank you so much! You’ve given me so much inspiration!

[@ArianeZurcher212]

Oh Stephanie, I'm so happy to hear you say this!! ❤️

[@sandih.5798]

Love the point detail on the leaf Ariana. Thanks for sharing the detached chain variations.

[@ArianeZurcher212]

Sandi H. Thx Sandi. The variations are fun, aren’t they?! ❤️

[@dgray9093]

This is a wonderful video. You are so wonderful.

[@ArianeZurcher212]

Aw... thank you so much. I really appreciate it.❤️

[@joyceabbey1732]

I watch your videos over and over. So much information it’s hard to absorb it all. But not a fan of the “ fast forward” ! Oh well ! Non the less I’m a huge fan. I have sues book also and it’s finally making sense!!thanks to you💕

[@ArianeZurcher212]

Just skip past the fast forwards. I worry that it will become tedious for people to watch. I could just edit them out, but then some people say they like them... Thanks for hanging in there with me, despite them!

[@debbiegallett1125]

So many options. Thanks. You are getting close to 1000 subscribers. Congratulations

Debbie Gallett Ha! I am. KZbin sets the bar high as I must also get 4,000 watched hours. I’m not even halfway there, but who knows, I may be in the next month or so!! Thanks so much for watching. ❤️

[@lesliepalmer7025]

Fantastic - so easy to follow for a fellow left handed person. I may actually get my circles moving again.

[@ArianeZurcher212]

I'm so happy to hear that!! We will stitch together. If you run into any problems, just let me know and we will figure it out. ❤️

[@susangeiser2894]

I love your videos!!! They are so helpful and I have learned so much. Would you please show us how you did that darling bear that was by the tree filled with chain stitches. What kind of thread did you use for above the eyes. So Very Darling! I have been watching your videos every morning with my coffee! Great way to start the day. Please keep them coming. Thanks

[@ArianeZurcher212]

Hi Susan! I'm so glad you are enjoying these, it makes it all the more worthwhile knowing others like watching them! When you say the bear, do you mean the dog that is to the right of the tree or the squirrel to the left? I did smile when I read your question as I thought - a bear works, but which one!?

[@susangeiser2894]

@@ArianeZurcher212 I was thrilled that you answered my e-mail. The little animal (I love bears, so I want to make it a bear) was on the right hand side of the tree with all the chain stitches, It was 2:57 minutes into the Non Traditional Chain Stitch video. I love the way you did the eyes. I don't know what that thread is that is so fluffy above the eyes, or what stitch you used to get it to look that way. I would love it if you could show us how to do it. Sincerely, Susan

[@ArianeZurcher212]

Susan Geiser ah, yes! The dog!! But he could be a bear... anyway his eyes are tiny little black 2-hole buttons that I stitched down with #8wt Eleganza thread and the did a Backstitch around the buttons in the same thread. His eyebrows were turkey work done in a Silken Pearl ! Then using a ninja brush fluffed up a bit. See my turkey work video to see how that’s done if you haven’t already! ❤️

[@nancyboylan3736]

Lots of information. Sue’s book is great. I really love it and would be lost without it. But it is so nice that you go into so much depth on each stitch. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@ArianeZurcher212]

Thank you Nancy! Sue's Creative Stitching Book was the beginning of a whole new direction in my life. She is such a wonderful artist and teacher.

[@debbiewidner5676]

[@theresaveroline7309]

Love this stitch with its variations!

[@ArianeZurcher212]

theresa veroline me too and an added plus of doing this video was trying the three pronged variation, which I’d never tried before but ended up loving! ❤️

[@Debcrafty1]

Hi Ariane, can you tell me what color of thread you used to make your beautiful tree trunk ?

[@ArianeZurcher212]

It's a Painter's Perle Cotton. I'm pretty sure it's Friedrich: www.susanedmonsondesigns.com/product/hand-painted-pearl-cotton-129-friedrich-painters-threads/
